After being mostly terrible at the gambling for the entirety of the time we’ve run this segment, we both made a mythical profit in 2019. The 2020 season, with the likelihood of COVID-related interruptions and benchings, will present significant challenges. Have we turned a corner and figured this game out? Or will we revert to our bankrupt ways of the past?

Andy – Week one is always hard, but this year it’s going to be even harder. COVID altered training camps and canceled the preseason. So, the first few weeks will be about figuring this season out. Here goes: (more…)

Andy: Okay, while the Titans had their cute little run with Derrick Henry and Green Bay squeaked into the conference finals on the strength of … whatever it was that got that team there … we’ve finally arrived at what I think is a really intriguing Super Bowl match-up between San Francisco and Kansas City.
It’s the great pass rushing defense of the 49ers taking on the league’s best QB in Patrick Mahomes, who is even better when he’s on the run and his weapons have time to run around to get open.
Tony: It’s also the #2 ranked rushing team (in yards per game) of the 49ers aginst a defense that has had problems against the run this year. But the Chiefs will likely have Chris Jones back to 100%, and they’ve managed to beat the top ranked rushing team (Baltimore) during the regular season, and the #3 ranked rushing team (Tennessee) during the post season.
There’s also questions on coaching–one of the head coaches will likely do wonders for their postseason reputation…Andy Reid has a long history of choking in big games, dating back to his time with the Eagles–while 49ers head coach Kyle Shannahan’s best known Super Bowl moment is being the architect of a Falcons offense that couldn’t hold a 28-3 lead over the Patriots in Super Bowl LI.

Tony got his bets a little bit back on track during divisional weekend, getting himself back into the black for the season’s entirety. Andy struggled again, probably betting a couple games with his heart rather than his head – which is easier to avoid during the regular season when there is a full slate of games from which to choose.

Well, that was rough. Wild Card weekend was exciting, but the results were tough on Tony and Andy. They combined to go 1-7 on bets, wiping out much of what they had won in the regular season. The picks weren’t very good either.

There aren’t really enough games to make an alternative picks segment worth continuing in the playoffs, but we’ll keep up with the bets and picks in the postseason, especially since we’ve actually got some mythical money to work with…

Tony keeps plugging along, taking at least a little of the mythical casino’s cash every week. Andy’s hot streak has cooled a bit, but he’s still comfortably ahead for the season, as well.

100% agreed on the locks for the seniors if we had a fifth slot my pick would either be Matheson…
hard to say if momentum is gathering, but we had 10 seniors elected in 2020 centennial class, doesn't seem unreasonable…
I'm sold on 4 of them Brian not quite sold on Benton just yet
A special election could continue to gather momentum but it would probably only be 3-5 players at the most. Its…
